I wear whatever the fuck I want. I once had a sort of boss (not a line manager just a coordinator. Our team were all contractors and didn't really report to one person as such). She saw me crossing the office one day and pulled me aside to tell me I had to wear a shirt and tie from now on. Anyway, I just said "nope", and walked off.
She had been trying shit like this on our team for a while and we knew we could just ignore her about this stuff. Still satisfying though.
95% of the time, nothing at all. Now you have to guess what I do for money. :)
Programming from home?
Nope. Rodeo clown.
Naked model? Cooking meth? Sex worker?
Long pants that can't be jeans or have to many pockets. Collared shirt and a thing that goes over the shirt and keeps you warm. It's woolen and soft.
When I buy clothes I just find a maniken that looks like a business guy and then I buy 3 pairs of what he is wearing. So I've got like 5 different outfits and 3 of each outfit and I rotate them. When I first started I wore the same thing every day like an npc.
Whatever the fuck I want. Usually jeans + t-shirt, though.
That's also what I wore for the company christmas party. But as opposed to all of my coworkers who wore their finest suits and dresses, I had a good reason: I just stopped via the party on my way home from doing field work. And I made sure to let our HSE rep know that I found it disturbing that nobody there wore ESD safe safety boots. Nobody except me, that is.
The skins of my enemies
Now I need to know what you do for a living.
Hunting
I'm confused why men still wear suits. They look like school uniforms to me, and make men look like overgrown school kids.
Women have far more choice, and the equivalent clothing items on when would be considered too casual. Time this shit changed.
A well fitted suit looks really nice imo. It gives you the same kind of silhouette as someone who's really buff. If it's poorly fitted, then I agree, it would look like school uniform that's sized up so that the kid grows into it.
T-shirt. Boxers. Sometimes a wizard robe. I work from home.
Where did you get your wizard robe
It was a gift from an old partner. I think she bought a nice bathrobe and then put all the stars on it herself.
Nothing. I’m a whore.
No that’s not true.
But it was fun to type.
Jeans, button down shirt, gym shoes.
Why yes, I do work in IT!
Whatever I want. Usually PJs. The three times a year I go into the office, it'll be a tank top, jeans, and combat boots or high tops, generally all black or dark grey. I'll also wear a plaid flannel over the tank top if it's chilly in the office. I save my dressing up for the office Christmas party and shock the hell out of everyone.
Jean shirt, jeans, red socks, blue shoes, red glasses, and a red sweater that's optional. Also a red bra/panties but they're not a part of the job, just a part of what I wear.
I know you're probably a woman, but it's funnier to imagine a man posting this. Either way, nice.
Thanks I guess. The reason I specified the last part is because I wasn't sure whether the question was asking what I like wearing to work or what my workwear is.
Yeah, fair enough. Maybe I'm the one that messed the question up not including my underwear?
I tend to think of things like clothing questions in terms of the act of wearing rather than what people see/expect, so I often put that in thinking it fits the goal. And then I second-guess myself.
Interesting, in terms of work attire I go pure utility, but it sounds like we have different work environments. For my private life it's usually just whatever is the most comfortable. If I'm cross dressing then it's whatever fits my body type the best and mitigates my shortcomings, lol.
However you interpret it, no need to second guess yourself. It's just your opinion and it's valid either way.
I work in the media industry so it's more aesthetically-based for me. Albeit I wish they let us be choosy enough to not have to adapt to a colour scheme, not that I don't predominantly cycle betweenfourofthose as I am just about never out of the day-to-day milieu.
Unless I misunderstand, the last one seems pretty normal. So you just happen to only default on one normal thing? Also, sorry for confusing things earlier and leading to this weird convo path.
Even that one is very uncommonly worn, but yeah, it's a de facto (not strived) default (minus the bandanna). Exceedingly predominant are me cycling the other three eight hours at a time.
When I'm working from home 99% of the time PJ bottoms in the summer and sweatpants in the winter. A t-shirt all the time and a fleece vest and fleece jacket over top in the winter. I sometimes wear socks. I wear a toque from the end of summer to the beginning of summer and sometimes during the summer.
When I travel for business, business casual with a t-shirt and dockers
Inline skates
You're either a skating instructor, or an infantry patrolman in the Taliban.
It is uncommon but normal to skate as transport in city.
Whatever I want as long as there's no obviously inappropriate graphic. Usually just sweater and jeans if it's cold, t-shirt and jeans or joggers rest of the year.
Usually sweatpants and a hoodie
Scrubs, tennis shoes. Super comfy.
T-shirt (warm), Sweatshirt (cold). Doesnt matter if they have graphics. Just not something offensive like "Fuck" etc.
Jeans (don't like slacks) but requirement to go on-site is that they can't be shorts.
Sneakers (sporty or not doesnt matter).
Job: IT-service/sysadmin
I'm unemployed at the moment but my last two jobs I worked with plants -- caring for and watering them -- so waterproof boots or sneakers, moisture-wicking cargo or hiking pants/shorts, and a company shirt. If it's cold, I layer a long-sleeved thermal shirt underneath. If it's freezing, a warmer top with the company apron over everything.
Vest and shorts (at home)
And that depends on the day.
Jeans, a T-shirt that came in a 6 pack, and my trusty Red Wings when I'm in the factory. When I'm farming it's an oversized T shirt, basketball shorts, and bare feet. I prefer to ride Shank's mare bareback.
Jeans, a t-shirt, unbuttoned long sleeve flannel, and crew shoes. I keep a hoodie in my desk just in case.
I work at a TV station, it's 68°F (20°C) in here all year round.
Nothing, I bring my raw mind power.
Black pants and a security shirt.
Sharply contrasted by my bright pink hair
Mono color t shirt and pants or shorts depending on the weather. WFT now, but also the same in the office.
Right now i am waiting tables, so black slacks/ jeans, black undershirt, and either a black polo or dress shirt depending on the weather
Black skinnies and a black tee. Every single day lol
No dress code here apart from some safety stuff like closed toe shoes, so jeans, T-shirt and sweatshirt.
Beige Icelandic Sweater, brown jeans and fancy black shoes. I look dazzling :)
High-vis pants and shirt.
Jeans or Cargo pants, a sweater/hoodie and sport shoes.
When rainy Jeans/Cargo, hoodie and waterproof boots.
Sweats, shorts, hoodies, sneakers.
I work from home so whatever. If I go into the office I wear black jeans, a polo, and my business crocs.
Usually trousers (really like the Eddie Bauer Ranier pants and shorts), golf shirt, grip6 belt, hiking boots and good socks. Bose QC35s if I’m in the data center. One customer makes me wear a safety vest. If I’m working weekends, in some data centers it’s warm enough for shorts (I’m not doing hardware installs).
If I’m working at home, whatever I slept in plus a shirt.
My startup doesn't have a dress code, so what I wear is about the half-way point between business casual/thrift shop and homeless/grunge. Boots or wedges, dyed hair, septum, occasionally a graphic tee. I like colorful shit. The least complicated/unflattering/whorish dress I can find, whatever least likely to snitch on me for weight gain.
PJs. I work from home. Just wake up, stand up and sit in my desk. Unless I have a very specific meet I just stay in my confy PJs. Meetins that require open cameras I just change the top
Used to do that, but I underestimated how important it is to do something before work. Eat, watch an episode of something, take a shower, anything. Going straight to my desk to work was depressing as hell for me.
And how does this relate to what you wear to a job interview
Pyjamas
Polo/chinos
Trousers. The rest may vary, but I always have trousers on. The dress code's pretty strict about that. So I wear chinos. Other than that, t-shirt and sneakers. And a lanyard with an ID badge.
Dark colors that hide dirt and grease to an extent & don't have visible branding. Bonus if it has high durability that still allows movement. Plus some high-vis gear and other PPE.
Sweatpants, and old t-shirts or polo shirts if there's a video call planned for a given day. I WFH for a company you've heard of, and all the video calls in question are internal.
Jeans, plain merino tshirt (no stink) and Jim Green African Ranger barefoot shoes (because so comfortable!)
We used to have to dress up more but COVID broke it. Now we just have to look reasonably put together.
IT person as well, generally just jeans, sneakers (or other shoes) and some kind relatively plain shirt. Whatever is comfortable and does not contain any shocking images.
I wear whatever the fuck I want. I once had a sort of boss (not a line manager just a coordinator. Our team were all contractors and didn't really report to one person as such).

Ha! Jeans, Merino T, Converse low tops. Accountant.
We used to have to dress up more but COVID broke it. Now we just have to look reasonably put together.
